edges. See Figure # 27.
) Inspect the dome’s position from inside the enclosure. Verify that the dome is centered.
) With the dome in its final position,
drill 1/16" (1 mm) pilot holes along each edge, as
shown in Figure # 27.
) Remove the dome and open each pilot hole in the enclosure top with a 1/8" (3 mm)
standard drill bit. Then, open the dome holes with a 3/16" (4 mm) standard drill bit.
) Use rubber gasket between the top of the enclosure and the underside of the dome.
